Gene: SSH2
Alternate names for this Gene: SSH-2|SSH-2L
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein tyrosine phosphatase that plays a key role in the regulation of actin filaments. The encoded protein dephosphorylates and activates cofilin, which promotes actin filament depolymerization. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17q11.2
Description of this Gene: slingshot protein phosphatase 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
